Thanks for the info. No choice, then I will have to use the receipt for Y2021 tax relief  cool2.gif

Unless the estimated delivery before 31 Dec 2020 or earlier, you would still able to claim for relief this year. Usually Apple will sent invoice to you via email after the item has been shipped.

Hi everyone,
when do you being charged after placed order on Apple website?

I placed my order (education price) when 13 Dec,
filled in my card detail,
But until now the status is still "Processing",
and my card still not yet being charged.
There is no email asking me to verify my student qualification too

May I know if I'm missing any step?

It will charged to your card once the item is shipped out.

Hi all, am considering getting the 16GB RAM as a switch from windows, my work will require loading big datasets on excel, running statistical models on R, and also running javascripts to automate some work on Adobe illustrator.

However my only concern was on the app compatibility issue on M1, as there's mixed review on running Illustrator on M1 as the native version is not out yet, some people have no issue while some cant even open without crashing.

Any owners can share your thoughts or any experience running these tools on MBA? Or maybe I should just stick with windows for my use case?
Much appreciated!

Hi everyone. Just ordered a MBA and eagerly waiting for it to arrive.
I'm wondering how long will it take to arrive to my doorstep.

My configuration is the 8-core GPU version with 16GB RAM.

Bought from online store? Usually, it will state estimated delivery date when you purchase from Apple online store.

need proof or verification?

Not required so far as the website doesn't need any proof of documentation to upload before purchase. If bulk purchase using education store, then I believe it would trigger them to ask for validation.

My experience w M1 MacBook Air’s battery usage:
- Started off by charging to full 100%
- Left idle for the night
- Main app: Zoom (total 11-hour classes)
- Other apps used: Firefox, Mail, Whatsapp
- Using WiFi
- Brightness level:(medium) 8 boxes
- Audio: Headphone jack
Left w 24%

Excellent battery life since you are using Zoom application which is a power hungry resources and you use it for 11 hours.

Not customised, base model only.

Called to MBB to check the transaction, because i found the transaction not reflected in my MBB Amex yet, so the MBB CS told me is the merchant not yet claim the transaction, so is pending from Apple side, maybe because of education store so it took longer time to process?

Apple will charge when they start to ship your item.
